Nissan Qashqai 2024 Owners Manual
7.13. Stop/Start System (where fitted)
The Stop/Start System is designed to prevent unnecessary fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and noise during a journey:
To activate the Stop/Start system:
On manual transmission models, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, remain at idle in N (Neutral) and release the clutch pedal.
On Xtronic transmission models, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, and either depress the brake pedal or shift into N (Neutral) or P (Park).
If you have Automatic brake hold turned ON, you can remove your foot from the brake pedal once the Automatic brake hold indicator light (green) illuminates, and the engine will not restart automatically.
To restart the engine when the Stop/Start system is active:
On manual transmission models, the engine will restart as soon as you depress the clutch pedal to shift into a (forward or reverse) gear.
On Xtronic transmission models:
If the Automatic brake hold indicator light (green) is illuminated, shift into D (Drive) or R (Reverse), or press the accelerator to restart the engine.
If Automatic brake hold is turned off or not fitted, or the indicator is not illuminated, the engine will restart when you take your foot off the brake pedal.
At the end of the journey the engine must be stopped and ignition turned OFF. Lock the vehicle as normal. Turning the ignition OFF will shut down all electrical systems. Failure to do this may result in a flat battery.
